2. Preventative Action needed

Sun Mar 15, 2026, 10:30 AM

Now that the bear is back, you really should stop feeding the birds. The smell, the seed waste on the ground will continue to attract him. Bears aren't very shy about making their way inside houses in search of food, and you don't want that. I had a bear break my window, shove all the potted plants off the table to come inside for the birdseed not too far away. Quite the mess. She had 2 cubs to feed, so I didn't blame her. I should have quit feeding the birds by then.
Good luck!
